Excavators & Site Contractors Insurance

Excavation and site contracting is one of the highest-risk segments of the construction industry. Heavy equipment operations, underground utility strikes, unstable soil conditions, and proximity to neighboring properties create significant liability exposures. A single underground utility strike or equipment rollover can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and legal costs.

Insure Pacific has deep experience insuring excavation companies and site contractors throughout Central Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. We work with carriers that understand the unique risks of earthmoving, grading, trenching, and site development — and we can structure your policy to cover your equipment, your crews, your vehicles, and your liability exposures comprehensively.
